Urban Asylum-Seekers

Shamba, age 21, an asylum-seeker from Somalia, has been seeking asylum in Bangkok for 18 months. He lives with his two other people inside a very small room not far from one of the main buildings. He can't work due to his expired visa, so food and medical assistance is often very difficult to find. Shamba was forced to leave Somalia after he was targeted as a minority and he was receiving constant death threats from other tribes in the region. Apr. 2015
